TOLEDO. July 12.-fSpecial Telegram to

will say: The absorbing question just now
to republicans is. "Who is the choice OF the
masses of the party for the nomination" 1t
is most difficult question to answer; but the
Blade to-day presents the preferences OF
1880 republican votes, from every state and
territory in the union save Utah and Alaska.
Distributed as our correspondents are, IN
every state and territory, we felt that an ex-
preston of opinion from them would be in
dicative of the drift of republican sentiment
in their respective communities. Early in
May we called on every republican voter
among the readers of the Blade to send his
expression of opinion by answering the fol-
lowing auestions:
1. Who Is your first choice for the next re.
publican candidate tor the presidency?
O. Who Is your second choice?
3. Who is your choice for vice president?

ANOTHER Def TO WARREN.
Tommy Miller Again Issues a Challenge
to the Minneapolis Featherweight.
BOUND TO FORCE THE FIGHT.
Result of the Shoot of the Omaha
Gun ub.-President Threw
OF the Western
League Talks.
Miller and Warren TO Meet.

Tommy Miller, the local champion feather
weight, will forward the following challenge
to Tommy Warren, at Minneapolis this
morning, his backer, Mr.. Herb Rothery, hav-
ing deposited 500 with the sporting editor
of the BEE as all earnest that ne means busi
ness:
OMAHA, Neb. July FL hereby challenge
Tommy Warren. the selt-styled feather
weight champion of the world, to fight to
for any reasonable stake, with skin tight or
the smallest gloves allowed by the law, at lis
pounds, men to weigh twelve hours before
the fight, and fight to come OIL four weeks
Paul or Minneapolis. lnasmuch as l chal-
lenged Mr.. Warren some weeks since with
out receiving any definite response, ear
nestly hope he will give this his immediate
asen'ps @s sshy his ToM%E sN
For the past month Rothery has been try
ing to bring these two bantains together. bat
so far all negotiations have resulted in moth
tight upon him, If compelled to invade his
own territory. Miller has repeatedly chal-
lenged Warren privately, offering him on
two separate occasions handsome certainty
to come here and fight him either to finish
or for a mutually agreed upon number of
rounds, but in each instance after consenting
to the meet has MANAGED in one way or the
other to crawfsh out of it. The general be-
with such sturdy, redOubtable young tighter
as Miller, whom he knows nothing about
from actual experience, and Is apprehenslve
of defeat at the hands of a man whom he
claims lacks the necessary reputation to
make a fight drawing attraction. Miller Is
confident he can best Warren after any fash
ion, for any number of rounds and under
any rules, aud Is resolved to make
him fight or squeal. 1t should be remembered
that Miller is not without a record, lie has
gone up against number of good men, and
has yet to have q fight recorded against him.
He met Jimmy Maloney, in San Francisco,
May, 1885, and bested him in six rounds. In
June, 1886, he met Prof. Scott, of ST. Louis,
at Dubuque, IA. in four round hard glove
contest and although Scott, who weighed
twenty-six pounds heavier than Miller, sta id
through, Miller was awarded the fight In
July, same year, he met Sidney
Draper, whose lighting weight was l40,
at Salisbury, Wis.,, and beat him in four
rounds. Bested Jack McQuerin, OF Buffalo,
at Lawrence & Jamison,s hall, Detroit, in
September, same year. IL March last he met
and defeated that nifty little tighter,
Johnnie lie Mountain, from Toronto, in nine
rounds, this city. Later he signed articles
for fight with the celebrated Tommy Dan
forts backer. but when it came to putting up
forfeit Danforth failed to come to time,
and the fight fell through Next he expects
to add Tommy Warren to his list of victims.
